Just for grins, and some actual, but seldom needed use, I have WordStar 6.0 running in xdosemu on my linux workstation. It prints Just Fine to my lan connected HP Jetpro M404n, even tho' WordStar "thinks" it's still printing on my long gone HP LJ III.

You probably won't need a converter as will almost certainly be USB to USB. Steve -- http://www.npsnn.com |
| vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.com: May 16 01:53PM Basically my question is if the usb-prl converter works both ways. Or how do I know if it does. SIDEBARS: [The wiring goes behind furniture and through closets and is just too daunting. It is amazing that plain DOS output works in most places. I have been recently thrilled to mirror my old gnu-hybridised enviroment with DOSBOX on a number of systems. I'd love to play with Raspberry Pi someday.. even run TOPS20 on it. Do you really want a history of my sordid computing? In 1980 I got an HP262a terminal to which I RS232 y-connected an OKI82a in 1982 and an AMPRO 2210 80186 non-GUI MS DOS Generic PC in 1985. Really hate myself for dumping the OKI (because it used plain typewriter ribbons) in 1995 when I got the HPOJLX, latter died two years ago. I used to manually reload the HP26 cartridges and got loads of ink. I got a multifunction HP printer sitting on top of the dead one almsot five years now but never really got to figuring it out partly because I regret not getting a feeder. In 1995 I put the Ampro in the basement (where it later output to a Panasonic dot matrix just fine) and got a GW2K p5-75 from which I am typing right now using DOS Kermit dialed into bash shell. I got a USB card for the GW2K but never got it to work. The HiVal CD writer works about 20% of the time and the ioZip drive destroyed all the disks with hiss of death (misaligning of mag heads). But in 2007 I KVMed a 64bit AOpen on which I triple boot (gparted grub) DOS, Quantian and XP. I got two acer aspire laptops, one XP with cracked screen, another with very ornery but very fast linpus. I also have three refurbed desktops in the basement. I had a Mitsubishi brick phone in 1990 but haven't had a smellbone since 2009.] -- Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus blog: panix.com/~vjp2/ruminatn.htm - = - web: panix.com/~vjp2/vasos.htm facebook.com/vasjpan2 - linkedin.com/in/vasjpan02 - biostrategist.com ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

If that is the case, I suggest looking at high grade optical lenses (perhaps glass?).
